Today is also bald for Ke Xue at the winery

Akihiko Kayaba closed the file.

This is indeed an epoch-making project, an unprecedented feat.

He realized that he was standing on the threshold of the times and at the turning point of his life.

"Great project. Great, amazing, and unbelievably crazy." Akihiko Kayaba did not hesitate to praise, but then changed his voice, "However, all of this is based on one premise."

There was a cold light in his eyes: "The future of virtual reality is all bet on the development of the Internet and electronic computers. But the two superpowers put the future on aerospace, and the academic circles have different opinions. Even your The teachers all bet that the future belongs to biomedicine, so why are you optimistic about the Internet and computers? With the meager amount of calculations of stupid supercomputers?"

Asama Yane cast her eyes out of the window: "Who does the future of this world belong to? Rich people, politicians, scholars, or ordinary people who do nothing?"

Kayaba Akihiko said without hesitation: "Of course a scientist."

"Wrong." Asama Yane said, "The future belongs to ordinary people."

Kayaba Akihiko frowned disapprovingly.

Asama Yane lowered her eyes and said: "The aerospace program is a carnival for a few people. It belongs to politicians, the military, chaebols, and scientists, but it does not belong to ordinary people. So in this era, it is destined to be a toy for the overlord.

"No one will always pay for things that are out of reach. But the Internet can, and so can computers. Dr. Kayaba, how long have you not paid attention to the lives of ordinary people? If you pay attention, you will find that computers and the Internet have always been It is subtly changing the world, and even changing the way of life of human beings.

"This is the perfect time for virtual reality."

Kayaba Akihiko's frown gradually flattened, and he was persuaded by Asama Yane's words.In other words, he himself wanted to believe in the future that Miya Asama spoke of.

So now, there is only one problem left.

"What conditions do you have?"

Yami Asama handed him another piece of information: "You can join our research team by signing a non-disclosure agreement, which lists in detail the level and treatment you can enjoy. By the way, once you participate in this project, you are not allowed to withdraw. No betrayal is allowed. I think you should be prepared? It is the same in any country and any organization."

She said with a tired expression, "I'm tired of explaining confidentiality issues to mentally retarded people every time. Before you, there were a few guys who failed to negotiate. They were not very capable and made a lot of small moves, and they refused to even reasonable confidentiality requirements." obey."

While reviewing the terms, Akihiko Kayaba joked, "Could it be that the secrecy requirement is abnormal? Forcing us to completely disappear from the world?"

Asamiya denied: "Disappear? Are you kidding, our project is not a mouse in the gutter."

She said proudly: "Virtual reality is destined to live in the eyes of everyone since the day it was conceived. Every advance in our research will attract the world's carnival. The whole process is comparable to the birth of a star. How can people let the sun be unknown?"

The young man laughed and signed his name on the agreement.

"The sun?" he corrected as he wrote, "It's the world (seed)!"

After talking about the business, the host and the guest have a good time.

Akihiko Kayaba sighed: "Your teacher is a leader in the field of biomedicine. I didn't expect that you would choose to devote yourself to the field of computers and the Internet and develop virtual reality."

Asama Yane spread her hands: "Didn't you also give up high-energy physics and choose virtual reality?"

"That's different. Virtual reality has a different meaning to me."

"I can't tell the difference. If it wasn't for desire, I would have been doing something else."

Whether it is a continental shelf oscillator or a space-based weapon, it is more in line with Yami Asama's original research goals.

— Deter the world and gain peace.

But in the end she chose to devote herself to virtual reality.

The same goes for Akihiko Kayaba.

Small talk among geniuses is lighthearted and pleasant.

"You also like to watch "Blade Runner"?"

"To be precise, I think the replicants in it are very interesting. Of course, the electronic life in the movie's original novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" is more interesting."

"But speaking of electronic life, Kubrick's "ai" is indeed the most classic. Artificial intelligence, the end of the world, cyber society... Humans will eventually send themselves to the guillotine." Kayaba Akihiko said, "I don't know What is the future of the artificial intelligence we develop? Will it betray humans? Or feed humans like the novelist wrote?"

"Maybe, but artificial intelligence really has a better future than the human brain? I don't believe it." Asama Yane said with great interest, "Although it is a rumor that the human brain is only 10% developed, the mystery of the human brain is still unknown. Only a corner has been uncovered. Biological information transmission is more efficient than electronic information transmission, maybe electronic computers will be eliminated, how do you know that the human brain will not become a biological computer in the future?"

"The human brain is developed into a biological computer. Do you want to say that humans can achieve quantum immortality by uploading their memories to the Internet?" Akihiko Kayaba laughed. "It sounds like a stupid idea, even more outrageous than the longevity experiment of immortal jellyfish."

Yasuke Asama has a different opinion: "What's wrong with the theory of quantum immortality? Biological experts have not yet found a way to achieve longevity. Quantum immortality has already solved some problems. Think about our plan. Quantum immortality is on the way. You are on the right path. As long as you can solve the technical barriers of virtual reality, the next step is quantum immortality. The door to immortality is right in front of you and me.”

Kayaba Akihiko raised his eyebrows: "Are you serious?"

Asama Yami looked back at him seriously: "Wait for me for ten years, and I will prove it to you."

Kayaba Akihiko laughed again: "Okay."

promised!

Saying goodbye to Akihiko Kayaba, it was getting late on the return journey.

Belmode turned the steering wheel and said familiarly, "What do you want for dinner?"

Asama Yane withdrew her gaze from the phone, covered her stomach and said firmly, "Go home and eat. Luchuan made duck meat and yam porridge for me."

Belmode turned his head and glanced at her: "Okay."

In the evening rush hour in Tokyo, the road is full of traffic.The red lotus moved forward slowly, and Yami Asama opened the car window, allowing the breeze to blow in through the gap.

Belmode suddenly said, "You don't like space? But I clearly remember that you liked watching stars when you were young."

Asama Yami replied: "I like it, but I don't like aerospace now."

"Why? I always thought that if it wasn't forced by the organization, aerospace would be your lifelong subject."

"Because it's too far away." Miya Asama said softly.

"Who can hate the space in "Star Wars" and "Star Trek"? Of course I also liked it, dreamed about it, and yearned for it. But the emotions of ordinary people are on the ground, but the romantic stars are above us. It is far away from us. Too far."

The lights flowing outside the car were reflected in her eyes, like flowing broken gold.

"Rather than being a toy for a few, I prefer to let everyone touch the stars."

"I don't know about scientific research, but I believe you can do it." Bellmode's voice was soft, as if afraid of waking up the child's dream: "You will bring a new world to everyone."

"There will be such a day." Asama Yami smiled childishly: "The seeds of the new world (theseed), Kayaba Akihiko really has a talent for naming names better than me."

She punned, "Virtual reality will bring a new world to mankind. In the new world, everything will be shuffled."

The wind takes away some hope for the future.

"Feng Shui turns around. This time, who will be on top?"
